What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Mazda MAZDA3?

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The lineup spans sedan and hatchback body styles, with base versions focused on value and higher grades adding more equipment. The GT grades bring adaptive front headlights, Traffic Jam Assist, reverse automatic braking, and a surround-view camera system, so you should check whether the trim you are considering includes the features you want.
• Powertrain: You can find a 2.0-litre four-cylinder with 155 horsepower and 150 pound-feet of torque, a 2.5-litre four-cylinder with 186 horsepower and 186 pound-feet of torque, and a turbocharged 2.5-litre four-cylinder with up to 250 horsepower and 320 pound-feet of torque on premium fuel. The turbo version is paired with standard AWD and a six-speed automatic.
• Safety package: Blind spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert are standard, while adaptive cruise control, forward-collision warning, automatic emergency braking, lane-departure warning, lane-keeping assist, and automatic high-beam headlights cost extra on most versions. GT grades add more advanced equipment, including Traffic Jam Assist and a surround-view camera system.
• Infotainment: Mazda Connect uses an 8.8-inch static display, Bluetooth, steering wheel controls, and voice recognition. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are supported, and Mazda Connected Services is complimentary for two years.
• Fuel efficiency: The 2.0-litre engine uses 7.6 L/100 km combined, or 7.7 L/100 km with the manual transmission. The 2.5-litre non-turbo engine ranges from 7.8 to 8.6 L/100 km combined, while the turbo version uses 8.8 L/100 km in sedan form and 8.9 L/100 km in hatchback form.

Which 2022 Mazda MAZDA3 trim should I buy?

The 2022 Mazda MAZDA3 is offered in 3 trim levels: GX sedan, 2.5-litre four-cylinder, and turbocharged version.

Here's the short version:

• GX sedan: This is the most affordable entry point, and it gives you the base 2.0-litre engine with the best fuel economy in the lineup. It makes sense if you want the lowest-cost way into the Mazda3 and can live without the extra performance and equipment of the higher trims.
• 2.5-litre four-cylinder: This is the best-value choice for most shoppers because it adds stronger performance without jumping all the way to turbo pricing. It should suit you if you want a more balanced Mazda3 with broader everyday appeal.
• turbocharged version: This is the pick for you if you want the strongest acceleration, standard AWD, and the most upscale driving experience. It is the most expensive route, but it also delivers the most character.

GT grades get adaptive front headlights that swivel when you turn the steering wheel, plus Traffic Jam Assist, reverse automatic braking, and a surround-view camera system.

What is the 2022 Mazda MAZDA3's resale value?

On the other hand, a lower entry price can help keep the car attractive to future shoppers who want a well-equipped compact car without paying luxury-car money.

Should I buy a 2022 Mazda MAZDA3 or consider a different year?

• Price trend: Prices have softened 8.41% compared with last year.
• Owners rate it 5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.

Consider the 2021 if:

• At $20,778 CAD, the 2021 costs less than the current year's $22,919 CAD average.
• It adds a turbocharged engine and leans into sharper performance.

Consider the 2023 if:
